Answer 1

A critique of neoliberalism (whether favorable or hostile) would most likely define it as "an effort to reduce barriers to international trade and investment."

Neoliberalism primarily emphasizes free markets, deregulation, and the reduction of state intervention in the economy, which includes promoting international trade and investment. Other options you provided, while potentially related to some neoliberal policies or outcomes, do not capture the core economic principles that neoliberalism is primarily associated with.
